My experience has been excellent. My Mom has needed different types of care in the time she has been here. The Nurses, aides and others in charge have stepped up to provide what she’s needed each time. Mom has been on varying degrees of Hospice for over a year. The cooperation between their staff and the Meadows staff is superb. Whatever my Mom needed at the time was provided immediately. The maintenance staff has provided what Mom needed; always with a smile.
